Missouri Assessment Program
Why is this useful?
The Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) is useful to track student performance in core subjects. Students in grades 3-8 and high school are assessed in English, Math, and Science.
What does this number mean?
Student performance results are split into four levels: Below Basic, Basic, Proficient, and Advanced. School performance is shown as a percentage of students who are Proficient or Advanced.
Where is this data from?
For more information visit the School Report Card at the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education website.

About this data - Academic Growth
Why is this useful?
Academic growth scores are useful for comparing how much students progress relative to where they started.
What does this number mean?
Academic growth is calculated by comparing the progress of an individual to his or her academic peers across a state or city region.
Academic growth is calculated by comparing the progress of an individual student to his or her academic peers across the state. Scores of 50 indicate that the average student in this school is maintaining the status quo; scores above 50 indicate the average student is learning more than his or her peers statewide; and scores below 50 indicate that the average student is falling behind his or her peers statewide.
